4km2 (current Mining license with 0,7 g/m3 and 1,5m depth will host only about 140k oz. If you want to have constant production you have to mine all the time.
My opinion is that they need about 1,5 g/m3 AVERAGE which would host about 7m oz for digging up 100km2. That's HUGE. 40% go to sumitomo.
current g/m3 in the swale is about 1,5/m3. But the the current 'high grade' swales are very thin.
sure; it's possible they will find a bigger swale with much higher grade. Otherwise it is going to hard to work.
Netherless:
Is it probable that they get a mining license for 100km2?
thanks for your assumptions.

The Thing with "Egina alluvial" is:
its a nice Calc you did, yeah, but at the
End you CAN'T RALLY CALCULATE IT THAT WAY.
Shareholders want Safety, Clarity, "All that", totally aware,
As you have No Clue what's in the "Rest of the Ground".
Earth didn't get the Memo, of your Calculation.
It is
JUST in the Ground "what there is".
That is basically always "One of the Issues" in Discovery Stage, which Many, many regulary get wrong(experienced it "thousands of Times" already).
